Patent 7462793 was granted and assigned to LG on December, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A display unit includes a display having a first surface, a second surface and a side surface extending between the first surface and the second surface, and a board configured to extend from the side surface in a direction substantially perpendicular thereto. Because a component for connecting the display and a keypad is omitted, a fabrication cost can be reduced, and the thickness of the display unit, and a mobile terminal having such a display unit, can be reduced.
